U O I vs SWARAN SINGH

The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of enhanced solatium and interest under the Land Acquisition Act, 1894, specifically referencing Section 23(2) and the amendments made by Act 68 of 1984. The Court held that once the reference Court has granted an award, the only recourse for correction is through applications for clerical or arithmetical mistakes, and that claimants are entitled to enhanced solatium and interest if proceedings were pending as of the amendment date. The High Court's decision to grant enhanced solatium and interest was affirmed, confirming the correctness of the decree as final.
